Description

Not just another meditation course! This short and practical course enables you to embed the principles of Mindfulness (and related short practices) 'on the go' in your everyday life - as well as offering a gentle approach to establishing a daily habit of Mindfulness meditation, starting with just 5 minutes a day.

You will be taken through a step-by-step process of establishing a daily mindfulness habit and will be provided with short guided meditations along with 'Everyday Mindfulness' techniques you can incorporate in your daily life. It will ground you in “The Basics” of Mindfulness through short, simple and practical steps to help you establish a daily Mindfulness practice.

Do you sometimes have days where your mind isn’t fully ‘on the job’, your attention is scattered, or stress and pressure is taking a toll?

Could you achieve more of your potential if you were more focussed?

Wish you could reduce the relentless mind-chatter of shoulds, oughts, worries, regrets etc. and chill out more and ‘smell the roses’?

If so, this course is for you!

An extensive body of psychological research shows that regular mindfulness practice can exert a powerful influence on health, wellbeing, happiness, cognitive functioning, work effectiveness and ability to manage stress. Learn to use your brain in a way that helps you to become more focussed, effective and productive in what you do. Learn to manage busy-ness, keep focussed on the most important things in your life and maintain perspective.

5 weekly session of 1 ½ hours per week

Audio files of meditation practices, to practice at home (a new meditation each week)

New Everyday Mindfulness strategies to focus on each week

Please note: This course is not designed as a treatment programme for any mental health issues. While there is research evidence that shows that specific Mindfulness treatment programmes are beneficial for a number of mental health issues, this course has not been designed as a treatment programme. It is important, therefore, that if you have a mental health challenge that is significantly effecting you, that you seek help for this from a trained professional. You may find this course to be beneficial alongside such therapy, but it is not a substitute for therapy.
